And this market was \"fountain of youth\" and source of money for many other IT companies as well as consultants. SAP created R\/2, R\/3 and the SAP Business Suite (ERP\/ECC 6.0) and every partner in the SAP community knew what to do.<\/p>\n

This created a homogeneous, comprehensive business ecosystem for SAP's existing customers. SAP was innovative and led the way. The partners complemented and supported this ERP path.<\/p>

\"Fullsize\"<\/a><\/div>\n

The break in this successful roadmap was not Hana or S\/4, but the fact that SAP tried to compensate for what was missed with expensive acquisitions.<\/p>\n

Suddenly, SAP found itself in a market environment without a unique selling proposition. Cloud computing is a good idea, but other IT companies were faster and more consistent.<\/p>\n

In CRM, logistics, artificial intelligence, middleware, IoT and cloud computing, SAP has good answers and valid products but no claim to leadership.<\/p>\n

It is a mental and organizational challenge to be successful in a market in which you yourself do not have a unique selling proposition. SAP has never learned to interact with competitors on an equal footing.<\/p>\n

A current study from the Swiss SAP market shows a frightening picture: SAP sales is overtaxed in the current situation!<\/p>\n

Cloud computing is a megatrend, but SAP CEO Bill McDermott changes his mind as quickly as the Hana database works. One day it is the company's own public cloud, then a hybrid scenario with the Hana Enterprise Cloud or the SAP Cloud Platform, or the cloud of one of the hyperscalers (SAP's \"Embrace\" project).<\/p>\n

These many possibilities from the mouth of Bill McDermott are interesting and exciting, but offer no guidance to the existing SAP customer.<\/p>\n

SAP no longer has any claim to leadership on the basis of its own trading, expertise and product range - and that is damaging the entire SAP community. It is high time for SAP to consolidate and return to its old strengths.<\/p>\n

The SAP community functioned perfectly when there was a \"primus inter pares.\" Bill McDermott has eliminated this important and justified claim to leadership.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
